WASHINGTON (AN) — International organizations and leaders reacted with shock and sadness at the state of American democracy after pro-Trump insurrectionists violently stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and delayed Congress from certifying President-elect Joe Biden's election victory.
The Geneva-based Inter-Parliamentary Union, a global organization of national parliaments, said it strongly condemned the violent mob attack that overwhelmed police and drove members of Congress from their chambers in Washington as they were counting and discussing the electoral votes.
